Course was hard but she grades very easily. You can tell that she would much rather be doing cosmetic science and not gen chem.. Very sweet person, not the strongest teacher, she mainly just reads off of the slides and if they're difficult to follow you're cooked.CHEM1161 2026-02-02 09:04:47 +0000 UTC
Sweetest and friendliest professor but her lectures were long, fast, and difficult to keep up with. Be prepared to relearn most of the content independently before exams—which make up almost all of your grade.CHEM1161 2026-01-13 21:13:22 +0000 UTC
Such a sweet person; she does the best job possible at condensing a dizzying amount of content into one class. Her lecture slides are clear and she provides plenty of online resources in Canvas. Two tests and the final make up the majority of the grade in her class, with a few comparatively small, low-stress assignments/extra credit opportunities.CHEM1161 2025-12-18 21:01:33 +0000 UTC
The course in general was long, but she has lecture heavy slides everyday. Make sure you are VERY familiar with each days content as it goes quick and she does not slow down. Her practice exams are very different from her actual exams. Nice person.CHEM1161 2025-12-18 06:56:23 +0000 UTC
Prof. Cassano is very nice but you will need to put in effort and work hard to pass this class. There are only two midterms and a final exam that determine your grade. She only gives five homework assignments, which are not even about the chem hw . This class covers two semesters worth of material in one semester.Slides are easy to understand.CHEM1161 2025-12-17 02:30:11 +0000 UTC
Very lecture and test heavy, but amazing class and very caring professor!CHEM1161 2025-12-10 20:18:36 +0000 UTC
Dr. Cassano is not only knowledgeable but extremely passionate about chemistry. She made accelerated gen chem in one semester easy with her organized chem lectures and wide access to practice problems and resources. She is so nice too!CHEM1161 2025-12-09 06:04:01 +0000 UTC
Probably one of the best teachers I've had. Lectures and slides are so clear and in-depth. Both walk you through examples step by step. Made accelerated gen chem genuinely enjoyable and somewhat easy. She posts all her slides, resources, practice problems, and textbook (for free) and her Canvas is super organized. Wish she were at Boston campus.CHEM1161 2025-11-28 22:03:36 +0000 UTC
